Quick Answer
To convert grams to viss, divide grams by 1,632.93 — one viss equals exactly 1,632.93 g, or 100 kyattha (ticals) of 16.3293 g each. So 500 g = 0.3062 viss (30.62 ticals), and a 100 g gold bar is 6.1240 ticals.
Gram to Viss Formula (1 Viss = 1,632.93 g)
One viss — Myanmar’s statutory market weight, the peittha — is exactly 1,632.93 grams, because the viss is defined as 3.6 lb. It divides into 100 kyattha (ticals) of 16.3293 g each, the unit Yangon gold prices are quoted in. The gram to viss conversion runs both ways with one factor:
So 500 g ÷ 1,632.93 = 0.3062 viss (30.62 ticals), and 100 g = 6.1240 ticals.

How to Use the Gram to Viss Calculator
-
Pick the direction.
Tap g → viss to turn grams into viss and ticals, or viss → g to go the other way.
-
Type the weight.
Enter one number. For viss-and-tical weights, use a decimal — 3 viss 25 ticals is simply 3.25, because ticals are hundredths of a viss.
-
Read the answer.

Gold Weights: Grams to Ticals (Kyattha) & Troy Ounces
Myanmar bullion is priced per tical — the Yangon gold associations publish their reference prices that way — while international gold trades in troy ounces and gram bars. The three systems lock together exactly, because every unit here is a whole number of grains: the viss is 3.6 lb = 25,200 grains, so 1 tical = 252 grains = 0.525 troy oz = 1.4 tola, all exact. Standard bar sizes convert like this:
| Gold weight | Kyattha (ticals) | Troy ounces |
|---|---|---|
| 1 g bar | 0.0612 tical | 0.0322 ozt |
| 5 g bar | 0.3062 tical | 0.1608 ozt |
| 10 g bar | 0.6124 tical | 0.3215 ozt |
| 20 g bar | 1.2248 ticals | 0.6430 ozt |
| 50 g bar | 3.0620 ticals | 1.6075 ozt |
| 100 g bar | 6.1240 ticals | 3.2151 ozt |
| 1 troy oz coin (31.1035 g) | 1.9048 ticals | 1 ozt |
| 1 kilobar (1,000 g) | 61.2396 ticals | 32.1507 ozt |
Worked Examples: Gold Bars, Market Buys & Jewellery
Five conversions exactly as the calculator runs them:
| Scenario | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gold ring, 10 g | 10 ÷ 16.3293 | 0.6124 tical (0.0061 viss) |
| Gold bar, 100 g | 100 ÷ 16.3293 | 6.1240 ticals (0.0612 viss) |
| Tea, 500 g pack | 500 ÷ 1,632.93 | 0.3062 viss — 30.62 ticals |
| 1 troy oz coin (31.1035 g) | 31.1035 ÷ 16.3293 | 1.9048 ticals |
| Dried shrimp, 0.25 viss | 0.25 × 1,632.93 | 408.23 g (25 ticals — the aseittha) |
Three Gold-Weight Traps: Troy Ounces, Tola vs Tical & Rounded Factors
Most gram-to-viss mistakes are not arithmetic — they are unit mix-ups. The three that actually cost money:
2. Tola is not tical: the South Asian tola is 11.6638 g (180 grains); the Myanmar tical is 16.3293 g (252 grains). One tical is exactly 1.4 tola — treat them as interchangeable and you are 40% off.
3. Rounded factors: converters that use 16.33, 1,633 or a truncated 0.0612 multiplier drift on bulk amounts. The exact statutory values are 16.3293 g and 1,632.93 g — this tool never rounds them.
